Extron supplies connectors for making ShiftLock cables;
the user supplies the cable. Twisted pair cable may be
used – up to 50 feet in length.
The illustration below shows the steps for a making a
cable using twisted pair. Do each step for both ends of
the cable. Make as many cables as required.
___ Although the color of the wire is not important, however
you must use the same wire color assignments for each
end of the cable.
1. Unscrew the Metal Case.
2. Identify the contacts, parts and connections.
___ The Plastic Insulator must be inside to prevent electrical
contact with the metal Case.
As shown here, the connectors have three contacts.
However, only the "Tip" and "Ring" contacts are used.
3. Insert the Metal Case (Insulator and flex Spring) over
the cable.
4. Strip the wires and attach them through the holes in the
contacts.
5. Solder both connections.
6. Bend the Tabs around the
Cable Jacket.
7. Press the wires and contacts inward to allow the
Insulator and Metal Case to
slide over easily.
___ Do not allow the contacts to touch each other.
